Research workflow

Inspect the local network [or local registry] --> See what nodes exist (and some past memory via relay? self, Relay-8, MITP, PubPub, Shoah, Unpaywall, DPLA, Meta) --> See what services exist (including relaying + a few entity resolvers)
Ask node for cat of [media] about [placename]
--> name resolve placename (show options)
--> return ident of cat (show alternatives, cluster)
Ask for video from [Name]
--> resolve Name (show options)
--> return idents of video (from var. Sources)
--> view video? metadata, including desc.
Find reference cited in video desc. (string)
--> resolve citation (show options)
--> return DOI (show cluster), hash[es], other IDs
--> view paper? and metadata (local graph, playground-style)
Add info on one of the above nodes
--> note it was referenced in another paper.
